Attachment-based therapy is a counselling approach that focuses on how early relationships shape your emotions, self-esteem, and connections with others. By addressing attachment patterns with a therapist, it supports healing past wounds and developing healthier, more secure relationships in your adult lives.

This therapy helps you identify your attachment style—secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—and explore how it affects your current relationships. With guidance from an attachment specialized therapist, you process past experiences, build new emotional awareness, and learn healthier ways to trust, connect, and relate.

Attachment therapy is effective for anxiety, depression, low self-worth, trauma recovery, and relationship struggles. In Vancouver and across BC, many of our clients seek attachment-based counselling to break old patterns, improve intimacy, and feel more confident in forming secure bonds.

Sessions typically last 50–60 minutes. Your therapist may invite you to reflect on early family experiences, notice current relationship patterns, and practice new ways of connecting. Our process at Gather & Ground is paced gently to ensure you feel supported, safe, and respected at all times.

Attachment-based therapy improves relationships by addressing the root causes of trust issues, conflict, or emotional disconnection. By healing old patterns and creating a stronger sense of security, clients at Gather & Ground often experience healthier communication, deeper intimacy, and more stable partnerships. We have witnessed hundreds of people make incredible shifts in their attachment styles, and you can too!

The timeline depends on your personal goals and history. Some clients notice change within a few months, while others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper attachment patterns. Your therapist will collaborate with you to set a pace that feels safe and effective, which is tailored to your individual history and needs.
